Using an alias in ~/.bash_aliases while $HOME=/home/ubuntu as:
alias k="kubectl -s http:xxxx"
k here stands for different commands in different servers, I have to use this feature but I just cannot source it in Ansible shell module.
Is there any other ways around it?
I read several posts:
- Sourcing a file before executing commands in Ansible
- can not source ~/.bashrc file with ansible
- Not possible to source .bashrc with Ansible
And tried:
No - 1
shell: ". /home/ubuntu/.bash_aliases && k get pods --all-namespaces | grep {{ serviceName }}"
No - 2
shell: ". /home/ubuntu/.bashrc && k get pods --all-namespaces | grep {{ serviceName }}"
Result
Both of the above tries give me this error:
"/bin/sh: 1: k: not found"
No - 3
shell: "source /home/ubuntu/.bash_aliases && k get pods --all-namespaces | grep {{ serviceName }}"
args:
executable: /bin/bash
No - 4
shell: "source /home/ubuntu/.bashrc && k get pods --all-namespaces | grep {{ serviceName }}"
args:
executable: /bin/bash
Result
Both of the above tries give me this error:
"/bin/bash: k: command not found"
No - 5
shell: "sudo -u ubuntu -i k get pods --all-namespaces | grep {{ serviceName }}"
Result
"-bash: k: command not found"
No - 6
shell: ssh -t localhost /bin/bash -ci 'k get pods --all-namespaces | grep {{ serviceName }}'
Result
"Pseudo-terminal will not be allocated because stdin is not a terminal.", "Host key verification failed."
No - 7
shell: ssh -tt localhost /bin/bash -ci 'k get pods --all-namespaces | grep {{ serviceName }}'
register: result
Result
"Host key verification failed."
A Walk-Around Solution for Me
vars:
- kubeCommand: ""
tasks:
- name: Get Command Alias
shell: cat ~/.bash_aliases | awk -F[\"] '{print $2}'
register: result
- set_fact: kubeCommand={{ result.stdout }}
- name: Get service
shell: "{{ kubeCommand }} get pods --all-namespaces | grep {{ serviceName }}"
But the question still stands here.
Any help will be appreciated :)
